Exactly as previous post I’ve had to back off on weeded up fish and never had one come out, yet they come out of the fish like a dream Absolute confidence in these hooks, strong as hell , sharp and a doddle for quick unhooking and minimal mouth damage which has to be good Been using at least 3...

hi Richard I have ordered a 4000oc but could be interested How much are you looking for ? Thanks Paul

Hello Just seeing if anyone has one surplus to requirements, before I go for a new one. Please PM me. Many Thanks. Paul.

That’s weird- I lost one last week- how it’s come adrift I’ll never know as plenty of thread on them?? Fortunately I had a spare from a now retired one but you’ve reminded me to contact Drennan I always thought their after sales was very good so if I hear anything I’ll let you know Kev in case...

You might just be a better angler Kevin? If you’re confident and catching it makes sense to stick to it but ring the changes as and when Me personally I’ve never benefitted from using on trend or miracle baits , I have a bait cupboard full of them Hinders elips, sticky krill and the odd foray...

very kind but when they're on it, they are not that hard to hook - landing them is another matter. Lot of weed alongside the usual snags. Interesting in that I'm still using ' softer' rods - 1.25/1.5 Torrix/ Dark Carbon with Richy feeders, and the Mark Tunley mantra " soft on you, hard on the...

A wise man once told me " fish don't read the same books as us " Opportunistic session yesterday, grabbed my old pellets and got to the river just before midday, sun high and hot, but pressure had dropped like a stone. Swim was deep and hardly any pace. So other than sunburn and mozzie bites...

Hi Dave I think they are great rods Had a go at the weekend but to no avail but I enjoyed fishing with it all the same I’ve switched over to braid and had some clonking chub in the winter but don’t think I’ve had a barbel yet on this set up but I have had quite a few on it with mono and I’m...

3 days in and they’re on doubles 😳 Brilliant work team Isaacs👍👍

That is a very pretty rod. I bet it's a heap of fun on summer barbel?

Just reading this sat on the bank when the downstream rod screamed off and a beautiful fit 7lb barbel was the end result Caught on a pellet that was ??? Old Fish more, argue less👍

Good luck and tight lines all👍 Not going to night fish but on the bank with some pals and we’ll be up and at em first light

I read your post and didn’t find it derogatory in any way? I ‘ liked’ Neil’s point in that you are absolutely entitled to your opinion. Enjoy it on here whilst we still have free speech! Notwithstanding that, you showed that you also respect other people’s opinions and offered the olive branch...

Same here - fed some chub & barbel on the Swale and very encouraging. Love watching them react, do this every close season as I always learn something. Had one attempt on a local ressie.Could not buy a bite on the feeder which is THE method. Had a lovely day, fished well for no results and was...

I still have some Liver & Lamprey dumbells and crustacean squabs. When all else fails...

Can’t and won’t disagree with any of that Terry I’ve been schooled by old timers who work on the principle of “ here to catch’em not feed em” Bait barons will never get rich off me When I say I use loads of pellets , I do in relation to boiles- I might use 2 possibly 3 kgs in a season not a...

Yeah but if you’re feeding from 2mm upwards a lot will get washed downstream and eaten by all manner of fish I’m taking a small feeders worth or a PVA bag I have seen people on the Wye empty a sack of 10mm halibut pellets into the river- moronic in my opinion so on that basis I agree with you...

In a river?

On our stretch if there is one thing that kills fishing it’s someone filling it in with boilies I’m same 1kg of 12mm more than enough for a season I do use a lot of mixed pellet but in an evening session might pult in 10 boilies?

I would back -lead a lot more but it's snag city in most swims I fish, and I have a skill of finding every one.
